REVIEW ALTERNATIVES AND RECOMMEND BUS STOP LOCATION ON OTIS DRIVE AND REVISIT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION TO CITY CUNCIL TO ADPT AC TRANSIT BOARD'S BUS STOP POLICY. Staff Bergman presented the staff report. Bus Stop Location - Otis Drive. At the last meeting in May, the Commission made a recommendation that the City Council adopt AC Transit's bus stop policy, but did not comment on the merits of specific bus stop locations on Otis Drive. Because of the public interest in this issue, the PW Director has since requested that the Commission make a recommendation about a specific location for the stop. Staff Bergman reviewed the background of the issue, and noted that some of the major considerations were the impacts on the neighborhood such as removal of on- street parking, street trees, opposition from adjacent property owners, sign clutter, potential conflict with street furniture, the need for new crosswalks, availability of lighting, presence of traffic control devices, availability of ramps, etc. Staff assessed the possible locations in that area and assumed that bus stops would be in position at Otis and Willow, which had not gone through the process yet. He described the spacing, signage, street furniture, crosswalk, striping, visibility and tree removal issues at the intersections. Staff requested that the Commission recommend a location for a bus stop at one of the listed locations. | TransportationCommission/2006-10-25.pdf |
